Gamma or Beta Sterilization<\/h3>\n
The validation of radiation sterilization<\/strong> occurs in five steps:<\/p>\n1\/<\/span> Maximum dose tests (to confirm the product’s tolerance)
\n2\/<\/span>Validation of microbiological analysis methods specific to the device for determining bioburden and conducting sterility tests<\/span>
\n3\/<\/span> Evaluation of the average initial bioburden
\n4\/<\/span> Treatment of 10 samples at the verification dose, followed by conducting sterility tests on these samples <\/p>\nTo validate the microbiological analysis methods according to ISO 11737, approximately thirty samples are required.<\/p>\n
The measurement of microbial load will be performed on 30 non-sterile samples from 3 different production batches.<\/p>\n
A verification dose will be calculated based on the average microbial load.<\/p>\n
Finally, sterility tests<\/strong> allow us to guarantee the effective sterilization of products once the treatment is completed. The number of samples will vary depending on the standard followed.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_section” bg_color=”#f1f1f1″][vc_column column_padding=”padding-6″ column_center=”true” width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”h2presta”]<\/p>\n
Ethylene Oxide Sterilization<\/h3>\n
The validation of ETO sterilization<\/strong> occurs in three main steps:<\/p>\n1\/<\/span> Installation qualification (QI): the purpose is to confirm that the logistics tool used complies with current standards.<\/p>\n2\/<\/span> Operational qualification (QO): this demonstrates that the equipment is capable of applying the treatment while adhering to the defined cycle parameters (temperature, humidity, EO concentration, time, etc.).<\/p>\n3\/<\/span> Performance qualification (QP): this attests to the consistency of the equipment in its operation to apply the predefined criteria, thus ensuring perfect sterility of the products. To achieve this, a minimum of three consecutive cycles must be executed for the process to be considered reproducible.<\/p>\nVarious laboratory tests will also be conducted: microbial load tests, routine checks, cultures of biological indicators, verification tests for the population of these indicators, sterility tests, and more.<\/p>\n
The process must be revalidated every two years. In the event of modifications to the product or its packaging, either a complete validation or a reduced QP will be performed.<\/p>\n

IONISOS, a specialized provider for over 50 years, presents the different processes based on the chosen sterilization technique. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_section” bg_color=”#f8f8f8″][vc_column bg_image=”15668″ column_center=”true” width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-6″ column_center=”true” width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”h2presta”] 3 Standards for Sterilization Validation IONISOS specializes in industrial sterilization. We currently use three techniques in our treatment centers: beta and gamma sterilization (by radiation) and sterilization with ethylene oxide. When you use our services, once the treatment technique is determined with the help of our experts to sterilize a product (medical device, packaging, etc.), it is necessary to establish the cycle parameters (for ethylene oxide) or define the method to be used to claim the sterility of the product and thus the minimum treatment dose in kGy. This requires a multi-step validation process, determined by 3 different standards for the methods that interest us. These texts encompass all the requirements regarding the development, validation, and control of a sterilization process.
